Carotid plaque-thickness and common carotid IMT show additive value in cardiovascular risk prediction and reclassification

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Carotid plaque size and the mean common carotid intima-media thickness measured in plaque-free areas (PF CC-IMT(mean)) have been identified as predictors of vascular events (VEs), but their complementarity in risk prediction and stratification is still unresolved. The aim of thi...
